Rank player based on death ratio?

[Illya]

I've got this awesome concept for endgame content that should remove a large amount of the trolls/bad/new/etc player issues "skilled" people have. I call it making friends.

It's really quite simple; when you do content with other people, you befriend the people who are actually competent. Then, when you're doing other content, rather than resetting the board and getting random dumb pawns, you bring in your friend pawns who you know are somewhat capable.

Making friends?! In a Massively Multiplayer Online Game?! Surely you jest! No one wants to be social in a game genre fundamentally designed around social interactions! I want terrible player rankings instead so I can measure my e-peen against other players 24/7, that's how you build a strong community!
